Congestive Heart Failure Program

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition in which the heart fails to pump enough blood to the body.

And this can reduce the flow of vital oxygen and nutrients to various organs.

Congestive heart failure is the leading cause of hospitalization for patients over the age of 65—and it often goes undiagnosed and untreated.

St.Vincent is also staffed by a full range of CHF experts, including:
